|
Weber(Wb): Standard unit of magnetic flux measuement equal to 100,000,000, or 10 to the 8th power lines of force. The previously used unit of magnetic flux was the MAXWELL, which was equal to one magnetic line of force.

Watt: A unit of power. Power is the rate of using energy to do work. Amperage x Voltage = Watts. Watts are a constant; if the voltage is higher then the amperage will be lower to produce the same amount of wattage or vice versa.
|
|
Watt Hour: A measure of electrical energy equal to one watt of power used or produced over a one hour period of time. The unit for measuring electrical energy which equals Watts x Hours.

|
Wet Cell Battery: A type of battery that uses a liquid electrolyte. This type of battery requires periodic maintenance such as cleaning the connections and checking the electrolyte level.
